Just like the day before, we had to cover quite a few miles, so there’s not much to tell. Except that hubby, a lifelong train enthusiast, discovered that our route passed through York — home to the National Railway Museum. And according to him, there is always time for trains.
As for me, I found out there was a designer outlet just a few miles away, and that’s where I was dropped off. Almost like daycare!
Not the smartest idea for a girl with zero space left in her suitcase to transport potential bargains. But sometimes the universe helps in surprising ways:
I approached the matter with the clear motto “just look, don’t touch.” There weren’t many items calling my name anyway; most of the clothes were short-sleeved or otherwise summery.
There were, however, the most adorable light pink UGG boots at a very attractive price. It took a bit of restraint, but my reasonable voice won.
I joined a few Guys for a bunless burger (you know whom I mean) and then retired to one of the comfy public seats, the kind usually reserved for tired husbands waiting for their shopaholic mates. For a moment, I thought about catching up on this UBC, but my reasonable voice whispered again: research London accommodation instead. And it’s a good thing I did. Geez, the prices! Ouch!
As a more affordable alternative, we might just hide in a changing room here at the mall, wait for closing time, and sleep on the sofa I was sitting on.
Fortunately, we already had a hotel for tonight in Newcastle upon Tyne. More about it in a few days.
When is the last time you have been tempted by a great bargain you knew you couldn’t (or shouldn’t) buy?
